リンツ（スタッド）のおすすめツーリングルート

アシャッハ・アン・デア・ドナウは、訪れるとすぐに絵葉書の中にいるような気分になる場所の一つです。オーバーエスターライヒ州（エフェルディング郡）で最も古く、最も魅力的な市場町の一つであり、ドナウ川の大きな湾曲部に直接位置しています。アシャッハは何世紀にもわたり、海運と貿易の重要な結節点でした。これは今日でも町の景観に反映されています。ドナウ川の遊歩道沿いの家並みは、主に16世紀（ルネサンスとバロック様式）のものです。ファサードは見事に修復されており、人気の写真撮影スポットとなっています。

From the banks of the Danube, you can enjoy a view of the Abwinden-Asten power plant, one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. The facility extends over 252 meters and consists of nine Kaplan bulb turbines with a total output of 168 MW. The low-rise design of the powerhouse, which blends seamlessly into the surroundings, is particularly striking. A cycling path runs directly past the power plant, offering both close-up views and photo opportunities. For nature lovers, the fish bypass, opened in 2020, is a highlight, as it allows fish safe passage upstream and supports the ecological sustainability of the power plant. The surroundings along the banks of the Danube are particularly attractive for cyclists who want to enjoy the combination of technology, landscape, and nature.

The former gravel pit has been converted into a local recreation area and also has a nudist area.
